I’m looking at grabbing one during the holidays. Should be nice to have while I’m deployed.. I’m not sure what the big deal is about a “pro” though. The battery life will be awful if they go with a high-powered system, and how do you keep that kind of hardware cool? It’s already heat-soaking from your greasy nerd fingers, and putting a fan in there is no good due to the portability portion being important.

The switch is good the way it is as long as they focus on efficiency.

So you're saying that Nintendo is good at securing its consoles against exploits? Can you think of another Nintendo console that has ever not been hacked?

Despite you're username, sometimes you're not so logical!

Well it's not just Nintendo, Nvidia was the reason why the switch got hacked in the first place, because Nvidia left a exploit in the Tegra chipset. Which since got fixed in the hardware revision that came out sometime last year.

It's not impossible at this point, just extremely unlikely. Nintendo has beefed up the software side of the protection, while Nvidia fixed the hardware faults.

Some info from TechSpot:
At any rate, if you've never played The Witcher 3 before or you have but want to experience it in a new way, feel free to pre-order a Switch copy for yourself. Physical editions of the port will run you a full $60, but don't scoff just yet. In true CD Projekt Red fashion, you'll get several extra goodies for your money.

For starters, that $60 nets you the Complete Edition of the game, which includes both expansion packs: Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone. The packs are ordinarily priced at $20 and $10 respectively. Additionally, physical copies of the port will include a Witcher Universe: Compendium lore booklet, a stylized paper world map, and some free stickers.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions > Tokyo Mirage Sessions Encore (just announced)
This is a fun game for any JRPG fan who never played it on Wii-U (Which is a lot I would guess) Good battle system, very light hearted setting (very different feeling because of it). I think the censorship is still there and fanboys are still miffed (Its not nearly as bad as they cry about...most are just head scratchers but doesn't CHANGE the game in any way)

None of them are really worth it to me to double dip a second purchase (except MK8, I think I'll like having the proper battlemode to change things up in multiplayer) come Switch time.

Yeah, the big glaring omission is Mario 3d world. Maybe Nintendo is saving that for a slump?

Then you get the so-called spinoff titles (New Super Mario Bros series), which gets ported/new version on every system. I suppose New Super Mario Bros was the major 3DS title but it did find its way to the home consoles.

So Im not sure if 3D world is going to find its way to Switch, but I wont be surprised if it didnt, nor will i be surprised if it did. Nintendo seems to want to try to get every relevant title from Wii-U to Switch and then just leave the Wii-U in the history books forever.

The really successful nintendo consoles gets more than one though, nes had mario bros 1 to 3, snes had World 1 & 2, and the wii had Galaxy 1&2.

So they can port 3d world without breaking any rules.

Those are sequals so I don't think that counts, as they're still part of whatever mainline Mario series of that console generation is.

Regardless the whole "1 mainline Mario game per console" philosophy seems more like a gentlemen's agreement than a real rule anyways, they're not breaking any rules regardless of what they do with Mario.
